Big Brother 2009 (UK)

Per WP:CRYSTAL. Nothing much else to say, the series won't be airing for at least 10 months and another series is planned before then (its Wiki article has also been deleted - twice). See-

Delete This is far too early for the article, and goes against the articles policies created at Wikiproject Big Brother. »—Mikay—talk—contribs→ 10:11, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Like Mikay said it is far too early for this article to be constructed. wait until the auditions in January 2009 before making the article.BountyHunter2008 (talk) 10:51, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it is not too early for this article to be constructed. From WP:CRYSTAL #1, "should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. " I believe that this TV series falls under that, due to the cited information about the sponsorship. Information about the preparation for the series is documented to reliable sources, that the contestants will be selected in January 2009, five months away. -Malkinann (talk) 11:12, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep For same reasons as Malkinann, we know the show is going ahead and we know the auditions and selection process starts in a matter of weeks. I would also like to add a request for a Celebrity Big Brother 2009 UK article to be produced as this has been confirmed and is only a couple of months away.

I thought IPs couldn't vote at AFD. Correct me if I'm wrong. Dalejenkins | 13:27, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not aware of such a rule, and I can't find any mention of it in the deletion policy. They can't nominate things for deletion since they can't create pages. Olaf Davis | Talk 14:11, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no rule barring IPs. "It's a discussion, not a vote." (The closer does have discretion to give less weight to remarks from newcomers.) ~ Ningauble (talk) 16:49, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Just because its airing months away doesn't mean it doesn't deserve a page. It will just save a lot of hassle nearer the time. The reason CBB 2009 has been deleted is because it hasn't been officially confirmed yet, BB10 has. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.240.254.33 (talk) 14:17, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - announced TV series on a major network. Satisifies notability and avoids Crystal. 23skidoo (talk) 15:46, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Television-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 17:42, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - It was confirmed by Davina on the final of BB9 on Channel 4 (BBUK's Major TV Channel) (BlackpoolKickboxer2008 (talk) 17:55, 7 September 2008 (UTC))[reply]
Comment: It is all very well for some people to say that it has been confirmed, but without confirmation that it passed Wiki policies and guidlines, specifying which parts, IT WILL GET DELETED. Dalejenkins | 19:13, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I've specified which parts of WP:CRYSTAL I believe the article satisfies, could you please elaborate on which parts of WP:CRYSTAL you think it fails? Another part of WP:CRYSTAL it satisfies is the requirement for there to be something else to say about the show other than it will exist - e.g. The contestants will be chosen in January.-Malkinann (talk) 20:12, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd prefer it to be deleted, but I'm sure it'll be kept. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 21:42, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
